Would I Lie to You?
No, not yet!
It’s true. I have a scar on my left palm that I got when I dropped a bottle of seven up and tried to pick up the shards of glass.
I was four years old when it happened. It was back in the old days when soda came in long-necked glass bottles, usually a six pack, and my grandmother always returned the empties to the store for her $0.20 credit.
As my mother tells the story, it was a hot summer day and she opened a bottle of the fizzy soda and gave me a plastic cup of half 7-Up and half water. When the bottle empty, apparently I insisted on putting it into the cardboard case.
Unfortunately I dropped the bottle and it shattered all over the kitchen floor. My mother went to get the broom and when she turned around I had a shard of glass in my hand and blood all over my palm.
I cut my palm in a way that had my skin hanging open and my mom panicked. She grabbed me by the arm, hoisted me onto the kitchen counter and stuck my hand under the sink to rinse it with cold water.
I didn’t get any stitches, but my mother put a band aid on my palm and applied pressure to the wound. Turns out it healed nicely, but I have a scar in the shape of a very crooked “J” on my palm. Or maybe it’s a backwards “7″.
Congrats to Karen, Nadine and Leslie! Your answers are correct. I’m starting to think you know me better than my husband!
